    And the obligation to pay for new carpet every few years.

    Cant believe 2 hours have gone and no RG! I expect Mike Danson may get a mention.

    Rogues didn't see that coming, or did he? The man on at the mouth of Oral doesn't miss much, although no one told him they have moved to a Council running track. Wait for his spin on the shagpile.

    But Danson does have an excellent record through is businesses of developing youngsters to an elite or England level.

    In truth not sure how I feel about this, a guy with plenty of money taking ownership..

    His net worth is apparently £1.17 billion. That's crazy money. If he joins then the salary cap is here to stay, there is no way the rest of SL will scrap the cap.

    You're most likely correct.

    However, if it takes someone as successful as him to have an influence & drag the sport up by it's ankles, then I'll accept it. Might mean Wigan winning a lot but so be it

    Yes I did and I know quite a bit more than I'm willing to say. Lenagan is 75 and should be looking to retire IMO for the sake of his health and well being. However I don't think it'll be for a couple of years yet. Danson bought 25% last year and is worth a lot of money.

    Until Superleague remove the salary cap you can only spend the same as everyone else. But he will have the clout to bid big money for player in transfer fee's.

    If I was a Pie Eater (god forbid) I'd want him to build a new stadium just for the rugby similar in size to Saints and Warrington. Somewhere you could call home??

    apart from marquee players. Maybe for SL to increase the salary cap or get rid of it, the RFL can bring in a financial fair play type system, similar to UEFA (yes I am aware of how Man City and PSG allegedly got round it).

    Bluffer. You knew less than the OP. Otherwise you would have been spouting the usual diatribe. Lots of carpets then.

    I knew it wasn't true, hence the BIG hint in my post,
